Devin "Mr. First Place" Allbright's signed Wake Board

Devin "Mr. First Place" Allbright may not be a very well known name in Chicago sports but he is an up and coming wakeboarder riding for the Illinois State University Shredbirds. He grew up spending his summers in Frankfort, Michigan, Devin fell in love with wake boarding. He quickly picked up the sport and was shredding Crystal Lake by the age of eight. When he started his college career at ISU he was approached to join a new wake boarding club run by godfathers Kyle Burr and Connor Kopp. The new club jumped onto the scene surprising many and ranking 6th in the nation in college wake boarding.  Devin and Kyle became a dynamic dual, winning competitions in their respective divisions. Devin has earned five first place trophies and the nickname of "Mr. First Place". This past season, Devin couldn't compete do to a series of unfortunate injuries. This winter his troubles continued when on a snowboarding trip to Keystone, Colorado where he broke his collarbone going real big, like he always does. Whether in the water, snow, or on concrete this multi-talented athlete tares it up. Devin also dislocated his shoulder this fall during an ISU intramural softball game that he was competing in with his bros. The "Inside Heaters"are going to miss their center fielder's spider-like defense and powerful bat. Devin is trying to rehab his injuries to make a wakeboard come back this spring and do what he does, win first place a lot. In the meantime he enjoys playing with his yellow lab Maggie and shredding his skateboard around the ISU campus and on his personal backyard mini ramp. We are so excited to have one of his first place winning boards autographed. Someday this board will be worthless.
